Routledge - Democratic Citizenship Education in Non-Western Contexts

Democratic Citizenship Education in Non-Western Contexts explores the complexities of theorizing citizenship research in societies transitioning toward democracy. Following the end of authoritarianism and colonialism, many non-Western nations have faced unique challenges in developing educational frameworks. This volume addresses the gap between existing research and the limitations of applying Western theoretical models to different cultural landscapes. Through various empirical case studies, the book examines how citizenship is conceived, practiced, and taught in South and West contexts. It provides a necessary look at how these societies navigate democratic development and the specific implications this has for future theory and research. This text is a valuable resource for scholars and students looking to understand the diverse realities of citizenship education beyond traditional Western perspectives.
